Forty And Four

That's what the doc called it. Four days past our due date. It's sounds kind of reminiscent of a football analogy, doesn't it? ...like fourth and inches. Well the visit today did not show much progress (4th and 10?). This friday we have another doctor's visit to see if there is any more progress. Then it's on to the middle of next week for a scheduled delivery. I feel the doc has been good about trying to let things progress naturally. If needed, he's going to give us time on that scheduled delivery day to let labor progress after breaking waters. That is if he is able to safely do so. I think we were anticipating the doc wanting to schedule a section this week so we are pleased that he's letting us go to next week.

Now before you criticize the daddy for being "pleased" that mommy as a prolonged overdue contracting swollen ankle back pain existence, mommy is doing well considering the said conditions! After the doctor's appointment, we did a couple laps on the local track, perused the aisles at Toys R Us / Babies R Us and were about to spent the day at the park. We were about to, that is, before a cloud of sleep enveloped the whole family and left us strewn about throughout the house on couches beds and floors!
